Settrington Beck

Settrington Beck is a watercourse that is a tributary of the River Derwent in North Yorkshire, England. The beck rises on the northern part of the Yorkshire Wolds and is a chalk stream that flows northwards through the village of Settrington, for which it is named after. The beck is one of 34 chalk streams in the eastern part of Yorkshire that flow into the Humber Estuary. As a chalk stream, the beck is protected by the Environment Agency for its rate of flow, with abstraction licences being reduced in amount that can be taken over other non-chalk watercourses.
